Photo Gallery: Beer-can Chicken Steps

STEVEN RAICHLEN; WORKMAN PUBLISHING

Looks odd, tastes great. The chicken sits on a half-empty beer can, which steams it from the inside while it cooks on a 2-burner gas grill away from the heat. The fat drains off, the skin turns crispy. In 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours, the bird is done. PHOTOS AND HOW-TO INFORMATION FROM `HOW TO GRILL' BY STEVEN RAICHLEN; WORKMAN PUBLISHING.
